gSender not detecting probe?

gSender ❓ Question
1

First of all, I’m using a Smoothieboard and I’m using a simple NO touch probe. I have already tested the touch probe using M119(and CNCjs, and UGS) and the probe is 100% detected by the board but when I try to use the probe with Gsender and the “confirm probe” dialog comes up, the probe isn’t detected. This is a brand new probe so it’s not like there are any shorts and like I said, it works with at least 2 other programs as well as is reported by M119. Any ideas?

I’ve read, though never confirmed, that it’s possible that other boards report “true”, “false”, “open”, “closed”, etc. instead of “1” and “0” that my Smoothieboard reports. If that’s the case then I’m wondering if that’s the problem.

We don’t support Smoothieware. It’s likely that the Pn status reporting is different from grbl. I’d recommend turning off the continuity check for probing in the Preferences.

Ok, cool. I just checked and the software did detect the probe when I bypassed the probe check so I guess those statuses are different. That’s all I needed. Software works fine otherwise. Thanks

@ehrichweiss As it looks like @KGN has resolved your problem, I’m marking it solved and closing the topic.
